If only there was some other way to generate electricity during those long sunny days 🤔 😎

We started off with 3 people, then each person invited a few more along to coffee catch-ups etc until now we have hundreds of people ready. Our candidate is being announced next weekend.

Huge ticker! Courage and integrity galore

Yes I was so excited at the last election when I believed that we would have serious climate action. Hence the huge political change to Independent. It gives me hope that things CAN be better

Sydney risks blackouts as heat soars and coal power plants falter Sydneysiders have been asked to lower energy use after 3pm as the hottest November day since 2020 offers a stark demonstration of the unreliability of ageing coal power stations.

So coal generators don’t work when the sun shines?!!😆! Four of the 12 power-generation units at NSW coal power plants were down

Remember when we used to have politicians with a “ticker”? The determination and courage to make the hard calls, to do what was right by the community?

Labor's term began with promise on the environment. It ends with things worse than ever The harsh lesson of this term of Parliament is that no major-party government can be trusted to take real climate action.

Do you feel betrayed? Support your local independent candidate for science-based climate action

The Independent movement has risen because of
:the things NOT done by the duopoly such as addressing climate change and habitat destruction
:the lack of integrity
: power of lobbyists and big business
:lack of voice for the ordinary person

This has empowered the Independents

We’re excited about the launch and can’t wait to introduce our candidate to the community.

Thanks Barbara!!!!

Got to give them time to prepare. But come along and enjoy what will be a lovely celebration

Great - come say hi! It should be a really happy event.
I went to the Zoe Daniel launch and I’ve still got goosebumps 🎉🥳

Great to hear that there’s good news

Climate change protesters arrested as thousands descend on Newcastle Harbour Several people have been arrested at a climate protest in Newcastle that involved hundreds of activists taking to the city's harbour in canoes and kayaks.

Peter Garrett at the event 👇🏼

"I strongly support the peaceful protest that's planned here…. this is one of the most defining issues of our time. People power will be a much needed part of making sure that we drive the solutions quickly."

The reason we want an Independent for Mornington Peninsula.
Climate change is happening. We want strong leaders who will take action on fossil fuels and keep the world safer for generations to come

“Teals” are not a party! They vote on conscience and community requirements, not on what the backroom powerbrokers determine

#labor wants to kill #palmer and slow down the #greens, and the #coalition wants to kill the #independents and slow down #OneNation. it’s like, ‘you help me kill my enemy, and i’ll help you kill yours’.

Democracy starts with you!

Remember, politics is not a yolk! (Yep, a dad joke)
